Kolesa.ru – Ulyanovsk Car Factory (UAZ ) enters the Paraguayan market. A delegation from Paraguay has visited the Ulyanovsk Car Factory, owned by Sollers. The intention of the meeting was to acquaint the representatives of the Paraguayan company Perfecta Automotores with the production process of the Russian UAZ SUVs. The sides have discussed the issues related to the development of a close cooperation between the Russian and Paraguayan companies, during the visit to Ulyanovsk Car Factory.

I have no doubt about the quality of the vehicles ordered by our company”.
